When it comes to academics and the ability to graduate from college, Blacks just are not as smart as Whites. That according to the below recent article in The New York Times. The findings were based on a recent report from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport and came this month, coinciding with the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament this month...

The comparison and contrast aspects of the article were interesting to say the least, although the NYT was filled, as always, with nothing but misdirection and lies.

In a way, it's kind of comforting that I have the NYT so pegged that I know almost in an instant what they will say (or rather, how they will lie) on a vast array of subjects. They are soooooo predictable . . .

What this study does not have is difficulty factor of course of studies pursued by white athletes versus black athletes. Carefully watch the introductions NCAA sport student/athletes, and listen for there Major's. It becomes very apparent, White guys and gals studying Science, Engineering, Business and Accounting. Black's with recreation, general studies, some form of minority studies etc. Plus the study cannot factor in the dumbing down and let them slide pressures that the teaching faculties are under regarding prominant athletes and there programs$$$$.

College athletics is a joke - even top universities will compromise their integrity to fill stadiums and arenas. The reason you don't see many college basketball players interviewed during March Madness is that most of them can barely speak.

But there is a major flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:

• Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks.

• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.

• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points below the average score of white students from families whose income was less than $10,000.
